Woocommerce Plugin and Customizr Theme incompatibility

AFAIK, no one posted page templates for WooCommerce & Customizr. However, I have recently contracted development of an online shop, for which I intend to use WooCommerce and Customizr.
After I’m done building them, I’ll make the templates available for download, probably through the snippets system on Customizr’s website or through the use of a WP plugin, haven’t made my mind up yet.

If you can’t wait for a few weeks and since Customizr is built on Tweeter Bootstrap, here are a few good layout examples using the built-in TBs library.
Please note that Customizr uses TBs 2.3.2 library, not TBs 3. So if you decide to look the web for more TBs examples, make sure they’re compatible.

Thank you for your response.

To be honest, nope I can’t wait weeks. Hours maybe ??

But of course, you’ll do your thing at your own time.

I am now trying to use the 1) option and alter my page.php as woocommerce suggests.

This is what it says I should do:

his solution allows you to create a new template page within your theme which will be used for all WooCommerce taxonomy and post type displays. While an easy catch-all solution, it does have a draw back in that this template will be used for all WC taxonomies (product categories etc) and post types (product archives, single product pages). Developers are encouraged to use the hooks instead.

To set up this template page perform the following steps:

Duplicate page.php

Duplicate your theme’s page.php file, and name it woocommerce.php. This file should be found like this: wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/woocommerce.php.

Edit your page (woocommerce.php)

Open up your newly created woocommerce.php in a text editor (or the editor of your choice).

Replace the loop

Next you need to find the loop (see The_Loop). The loop usually starts with a:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) :
and usually ends with:

<?php endif; ?>
This varies between themes. Once you have found it, delete it. In its place put:

<?php woocommerce_content(); ?>
This will make it use WooCommerce’s loop instead. Save the file. You’re done.

Or maybe I will try another plugin, like WP E-commerce.

If you or anybody finds a solution I may go back.

I like WooCommerce very much though. Pity

Instead of duplicating page.php you duplicate index.php in Customizr’s case. The loop is on lines 35 to 37. Replace those with

<?php woocommerce_content(); ?>

Save, upload and you’re done.

If you want to further style WooCommerce, use the grid system to keep it all responsive. It’s really simple, fun and it looks great, too.

Thanks so much for the response. I am doing it right now.

Are you sure the index.php and not the custom-page.php?

I definitely want responsiveness. And I also don’t want to lose any further fucntionality. I am afraid that with this “amateur” techniques I may have issues later.

I’d rather search for a new theme, Woo-Ready.

What do you say?

Plus, I don’t have a php reader :((

Yeah, newbie here

Yes, I’m sure.
Actually, custom-page.php is obsolete (wasn’t updated to the new file system, introduced in 3.0.12) and will prolly be updated on next patch. Right now it doesn’t display sidebars. Good thing no one actually uses it, lol.

Haha,

just updated the index.php as you said and the first thing I noticed was the non-appearance of sidebars. Should I not try to find a way to make them appear?

Here’s my page after the update

https://brightsimply.com/product/test-1/

certainly better than before, but still, no sidebars??

oh,

actually I did it with sidebar.

https://brightsimply.com/product/test-1/ (just refresh)

Responsiveness is also smooth. No issues. So I guess I’m keeping it. Anyone else who wants to plug Wooocommerce with customizr may try this i guess.

acub, in a few weeks or when you try this, please contact me to share you experience.

You can go to my page and contact me or at [email protected]

I am pretty sure you’ll find a better way to do this than me. I could stick it up then.

Please keep me updated.

You got it right.

Thanks acub. You think this is a “correct” solution?

What about the thing woocommerce suggests:

“While an easy catch-all solution, it does have a draw back in that this template will be used for all WC taxonomies (product categories etc) and post types (product archives, single product pages). Developers are encouraged to use the hooks instead.”

will you do the hooks method instead?

Well, after hours and hours of trying, I ended up like this:

either customizr adds woocomerce intergration shortly

or

I’ll have to change my theme

or

I’ll have to install a second theme for the woocommerce pages and just leave customizr for the awsome front page etc

Ok, a small update. I contacted the theme developer and asked him about a woocommerce compatibility. This is his response:

“I am working on this for the next release Charis.”

I guess somebody else would like to know. I asked for an ETA, still no response.

By the way, acub, for now,I am sticking with customizr and I’ll be waiting for the implementation of woommerce compatibility update. If you do your thing before the official update of customizr, then I’ll try it out.

Please let me know.
